Potential Ransomware File Encryption Activity Detected
This rule detects potential ransomware activity by identifying a high volume of file encryption events. It looks for files being renamed or created with common ransomware-related extensions such as '.locked', '.crypt', '.encrypted', '.enc', or a generic pattern of a 6 or more character alphanumeric extension. The rule then counts these events within one-hour bins and alerts if more than 20 such files are detected in a single folder path.
